More than half of our wind turbines are operating now, so this morning we took a drive to see how loud they are when you are close to them.
This one is well away from traffic noise, but close to a back road. That means you can get quite close to hear just what noise it makes. The blades made quite a "whoosh" as they turned. However, the wind was blowing so hard that the noise of it rushing across your ears and through the nearby trees was the dominant sound.
Since our
waterfall trip two weeks ago, we have had some rain every day. I'm sure all those falls look much more impressive now. We popped in to check out Lal Lal Falls, which is flowing well:
You would probably have to visit at about sunrise to see it without the shadows.
The cool wind was bracing, but it was good to get lungfulls of fresh air. It definitely blew out the cobwebs! The dogs enjoyed a run around too. Check out Dot's ears in the wind:

hahaha--her ears are perked up for sure--don't you sometimes wonder just what they can hear--or smell?
We are dog sitting through Saturday for our son's dog, Kota (pix on my sidebar) and she is a real sweetie--just love having a dog in the house--such good company; so miss our own Winnie...best of both worlds
though, a dog visit and no vet bills!! lol Hugs Julierose
Very scientific observation. I am very happy to see the wind put to good use. Personally I prefer a still day.
